Best Portuguese restaurant near train station for lunch in Newark?

I've been scouring the boards for reviews of Portuguese restaurants in Newark and am surprised by the relative scarcity of them. I am looking for a restaurant for a weekday lunch, walking distance from the train station, preferably around Ferry St. I'm interested in an authentic Portuguese spot; it doesn't need to be fancy. Thoughts?

The Martinez and the Fun Train

Welcome back to CHOW Happy Hour! In this episode, Martin Cate, of Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco, prepares the Martinez, a cocktail some think is the precursor to the martini. While mixing this potent gin, sweet vermouth, and maraschino liqueur cocktail, Cate recounts his first encounter with it—on a train to Reno, Nevada.
